Re: [MW:9478] Use of A 234 WPB in the place of A420 Gr.WPL6

Dear Thiru,

Your were right.

Assuming your service to be B31.3, A234 Gr.WPB will be a material classified under curve B of Fig.323.2.2 A of ASME B31.3

Looking at your service condition (Design minimum -45 Deg.) this material cannot be used for the said service.

You need to use A 420 WPL6 for your service.

Regards,

A.Praveen
